Around this time each year, travel sites flood us with their “must see” lists. Not only are these a way to round up interesting destinations that either have big stuff going on (Canada for the 150th anniversary, Seoul for all the new openings, Cuba because for a second year in a row everyone’s obsessed with Cuba…), they’re also a consistent way for these media companies to flex their web design muscles.

To make matters easy for my own research (and for you! You’re welcome!) here’s a list of lists: all the major travel sites’ top lists for where to go in 2017.

Also, just for fun, here’s an aggregated look at the places that appeared on the most lists … you might say this is the consensus list of the best places to travel in 2017:

• Canada
• India
• Russia
• Colombia
• Finland
• Nepal
• Cape Town
• Portugal
• Peru
• New Zealand
• Chile
• Italy
• Belize
• Japan
• Bermuda
• Switzerland
• Hamburg
• Madagascar

Ok, now the lists of lists…

Insider: 50 Places to Travel to in 2017

This is the first I’m hearing of Insider, and I’m not totally sure what it is. But their list is pretty extensive, and includes a lot of spots on other lists (Finland, Malta, Seoul, Nepal…) so it’s worth a look.

Fodor’s Travel: Fodor’s Go List 2017

I’m biased because this is done by my former colleagues. But Fodors’ annual list is always a thoughtful assortment with some unexpected spots featured.

New York Times: 52 Places to Go in 2017

This is hands down my favorite list every year, both because the places go beyond the usual suspects, there’s always a timely angle to picks, and most importantly, the web design is always fresh. This year is no exception: an amazing full-screen video hero kicks things off, then mobile-friendly 360-degree video features let you pan around to pretend you’re on a ski lift in Switzerland or trail in Wyoming.

I’ll spare you the full list, but it’s worth reading — especially the shout out to Minneapolis!

TripAdvisor: 2017 Travelers’ Choice, 25 Best Destinations: World
